Business model:

• In recent years, as resource advantages have translated into production volume and efficiency advantages, the Company has grown into a global mining enterprise. IXM has also made significant strides, becoming one of the world’s essential copper and cobalt traders. The Company’s major products are sold externally through IXM, while simultaneously leveraging IXM’s latest market insights to inform decisions on feasibility merger and acquisitions, exploration expansion and production planning.
• IXM leverages its outstanding research strengths and market intelligence capabilities to not only drive its own spot and proprietary trading business but also actively assist the Group in formulating effective product marketing strategies and ancillary operational mechanism. By capitalizing on its transaction execution capabilities and risk control mechanism, IXM enhances operational efficiency through its global sales network and solid partnerships. It also optimizes the Company’s product sales regions and customer base, strengthening market positioning and brand influence.
• Mining areas worldwide and IXM are committed to promoting responsible production practices across the metal value chain, supporting the transition to green energy. In 2024, IXM established a partnership with The Copper Mark, an industry-leading ESG framework that recognizes responsible production practices in the copper, molybdenum, nickel and zinc value chains.
